Bisnode divests non-core operation in the Netherlands

Bisnode has divested a part of WDM Netherlands focusing on IT-related database hosting for fundraising organisations. The divestment is a result of Bisnode’s strategy to focus on core business.

The divested business unit RDMS has 14 employees. The decision to divest is a result of the strategic process to focus on the core offering of direct marketing services within consumer information.

“The divestment is in line with Bisnode’s strategy, and is resulting in a stronger and clearer core offering in the Netherlands”, says Johan Wall, President and CEO of Bisnode.

WDM is a provider of direct marketing services, collecting and using data that enables customers to find, manage and reach clients in the most profitable way. WDM Netherlands has 61 employees based in Nieuwegein.
